Auction Houses for the not so big spender...
Does anyone have any recommendations on an Auction House where you can spend only a couple hundred bucks at most and pick up a great deal? I know there are many to choose from. My interests are mostly picking up cards (raw or graded) to add to sets I am trying to put a dent into, some pre-war, and some post. Does anyone have any solid opinions?
Much appreciated as always - Rob

I'm not sure any auction house wants to see in writing that if you bid with them, you will pick up a great deal.

Any auction house has the potential to sell a lot for top dollar, or on occasion leave a little money on the table. Best thing is to do your homework with every auction house and hope you can find a reasonable deal. It can happen anywhere, but it's getting tougher to do.

Barry's correct of course
No auction house wants to see that a buyer got a GREAT deal as that sort of means they didn't get a good price for their consignor. That being said there are some higher end premium auctions that have very few lots under $1000. I participate in probably 20 different auctions a year and most will have a great deal or two, if you know what you are looking for. Then there are the smaller auction venues, like ours and a few others, that have many lots starting out at $50 - $100. Those auctions might be your best bet for the budget you mentioned. Remember, knowledge is key....

Auctionzip
Auctionzip.com occasionally has sports memorablia/card auction that you may occasionally catch a deal on (so I've been told
 )
